Two Moments

Moment #1:
I had a really good time today. I got to sit in Starbucks with a young friend and hear all about her life. It's crazy because I've known her for two years, often hanging out many times a week in that same Starbucks, and yet I discovered today how little I knew about her. We both agreed that we talked about more today than we have in all the past conversations combined.

Amazing what two hours in Starbucks can change. What was different about this one time? I'm not sure. Perhaps we were building up a foundation of trust? Perhaps it was a divine appointment? Perhaps, she just needed someone to listen?

I am so glad I was there for it.

Moment #2:
Then tonight, my wife and I went on a double date with younger couple we've befriended. It was great evening of food, drink and dessert (my wife's favorite part). It was awesome. By far the highlight of the night was when this young lady began to gush about how she had just met Jesus working at a camp last month. Her eyes lit up as she told the story and her boyfriend was beaming with a quiet smile.

I am so glad I was there for it.
